Acceptable Washington State Associate Degrees
Students transferring with the Associate Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) degree may normally transfer in junior standing and satisfy the Basic and Breadth requirements at CWU. Associate DTA degrees with specific prerequisite courses for certain competitive majors are also accepted;
they are considered Major Related Programs and are listed as DTA/MRP. Students transferring with the Associate of Science-Transfer degree may normally transfer in junior standing. Additional courses must be taken by the student at CWU to satisfy the general education requirements. This usually consists of English 102 and 15 additional
credits from a combination of CWU Arts & Humanities and Social & Behavioral Sciences general education courses. Degrees not listed on this page are non-transferable. Community
